  Walking into the maintenance base of the Liuzhou Public Works Machinery Section of China Railway Nanning Bureau Group Co., Ltd., the sound of the "steel claws" of the large machine piercing into the ballast came one after another.

  On March 7, five girls from the "high-speed rail nurse" women's large crew surrounded each station of the large machine to overhaul the track to ensure the safe operation of the high-speed rail.

  The large machine is the abbreviation of large-scale road maintenance machinery. It is a major technical equipment dedicated to the maintenance of railway lines. It can accurately repair the gauge, height and other dimensional errors of thousands of kilometers of railway lines to the millimeter range, so that the train runs smoothly.

  A few days ago, the brand awarding ceremony of the "high-speed rail nurse" women's large-scale unit was held in Liuzhou, Guangxi. machine.

  Due to the large size and complicated operation of the large aircraft, the drivers of the large aircraft were all men before.

Until July 2021, Yang Yao, a line worker in this section, passed the qualification examination for railway rolling stock drivers organized by the National Railway Administration and became the first female driver of large locomotives in Guangxi.

  "Railway maintenance is delicate work. With a large machine, the error of gauge and height must be controlled within a few millimeters. This is equivalent to doing needlework with a mallet." Yang Yao said.

In order to realize her train "driver's dream" since she was a child, she spent a lot of time learning business skills, working with shifts during the day and studying hard in bed at night.

Through unremitting efforts, Yang Yao has gradually grown from a trainee to a line worker, operator, and then to a driver.

  Under the influence and help of Yang Yao, four female employees in this section also successfully obtained the driver's certificate of the large-scale aircraft, and jointly formed the first "female large-scale aircraft crew" in the country.

During the railway maintenance process, they cooperated tacitly and controlled precisely.

Yang Yao is in charge of driving the main machine, Xiang Ling is in charge of monitoring and monitoring in the car, Gao Qi is monitoring electrical and instrumentation equipment, and Qin Qian is conducting line investigation and guidance.

  24-year-old Qin Qian is the youngest female driver among them, but she is also the one who "gets started" the fastest.

Her key task is to accurately locate the location of the railway disease, responsible for the linkage between the train and the train, and continuously monitor and control various curve data. Whenever she finds that she deviates from the target track, she must correct it in time.

  The Liuzhou Public Works Machinery Section is responsible for the maintenance of more than 5,000 kilometers of railway lines in Guangxi. Working in the field is the norm for employees.

On the same day, after the "Women's Big Crew" finished its railway maintenance work in Liuzhou, it followed the camper van to Jincheng Jiangxi Station of Guinan High-speed Railway to carry out track fine-tuning work.

They hope to contribute a stronger "her power" in railway maintenance.
